Baking Soda Dough

Baking Soda Dough

Ingredients

2 cups baking soda

1 cup cornstarch

1 1/4 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in a pot and heat on medium heat.

Step 2

Continue to constantly stir the ingredients until the mixture begins to thicken. It will take several minutes to thicken.

Step 3

When the mixture starts to come together and looks like mash potatoes, scoop it out onto a Silpat mat or parchment paper to cool down. Cover it with a damp cloth.

Step 4

Once the dough is cool enough to handle, you can roll it out to approximately 1/4" thickness and use cookie cutters, stamps, shape by hand, or whatever method you want to use to decorate your cut-outs.

Step 5

Bake at 175F for 45 minutes to an hour. Baking will make the ornaments turn a slightly tan color. *If you don't plan on painting the ornaments and want to keep them white, air dry for 2-4 days.*
